Auranofin is a gold salt classified by the World Health Organization as an antirheumatic agent. It has the brand name Ridaura.

Use

Auranofin is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It improves arthritis symptoms including painful or tender and swollen joints and morning stiffness.[4] Auranofin is a safer treatment compared to the more common injectable gold thiolates (gold sodium thiomalate and gold thioglucose), but meta-analysis of 66 clinical trials concluded that it is somewhat less effective.[5]

The drug was approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in 1985. No longer a first-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, due to "its adverse effects, most of which are associated with long-term use for chronic disease. The most common adverse effects are gastrointestinal complaints such as loose stools, abdominal cramping and watery diarrhoea, which can develop in the early months of treatment. The development of loose stools occurs in 40 % of patients, while watery diarrhoea is reported in just 2–5 % of patients, and in most cases these symptoms were alleviated by reducing or splitting the dose". [6]

Research

HIV infection

Auranofin is under investigation as a means of reducing the viral reservoir of HIV that lies latent in the body's T-cells despite treatment with antiretroviral therapy.[7] The drug was shown to reduce the amount of latent virus in monkey trials.[8] A human study testing auranofin and other investigational treatments is ongoing in Brazil.[9] Preliminary results show that auranofin contributed to a decrease in the viral reservoir. [10]

Amebiasis

Auranofin has been identified in a high-throughput drug screen as 10 times more potent than metronidazole against Entamoeba histolytica, the protozoan agent of human amebiasis. Assays of thioredoxin reductase and transcriptional profiling suggest that the effect of auranofin on the enzyme enhances the sensitivity of the trophozoites to reactive oxygen-mediated killing in mouse and hamster models; the results are marked reductions of the number of parasites, the inflammatory reaction to the infestation, and the damage to the liver.[11][12][13]

Tuberculosis

In a cell-based screen, auranofin showed potent activity against replicating and non-replicating M. tuberculosis as well as other gram-positive bacteria. Auranofin protected mice from an otherwise lethal infection with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The drug acts in a similar manner in bacteria as in parasites by inhibiting thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). Studies in humans are needed to evaluate the potential of this drug to treat Gram-positive bacterial infections in humans.[14]

Ovarian cancer

Drug-screening reveals auranofin induces apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells in vitro.[15][16]
